TWILOLB 5/23/2016

Our second installment of TWILOLB with your host Yu "Tired of playing at Dr. Pepper Park" Darvish.

Epic Showdown of the Week

This week's ESOTW featured PattyV vs. Expos. Expos powered by double starts from MadBum and Hamels squeaks by PattyV in a match that came down to the final night. Expos hitters single handedly gave Expos the lead on Monday pounding 38 points. PattyV was playing catch-up all week after Tuesday's dominant outing by Bumgarner (9IP, 1ER, 11K, 0W - 31.50 points).

Strong Friday and Saturday showed there is some fight in that dog named PattyV. Heading into Sunday PattyV had a chance with a strong start by Scherzer but that door was quickly closed when Bumgarner shutdown the Cubs and Hamels buzz-sawed through the Astros lineup.

Get on the Bus Triple A Players of the week.


Pitchers
  • Jon Lester - 2.2IP, 5 ER. Lester got smoked by the Giants on Saturday. His outing before that was 7 innings of nohit baseball. Probably just a bump in the road.
  • Jon Gray - 3.1IP, 9ER and what's worse than that...it was against the Cardinals. Pretty sure after 5ER you just start pegging the Cardinals till you get tossed and the fans send you off with racial slurs. The Cardinal way.
  • Matt Harvey - 2.2 IP, 6ER, haven't seen him this upset since Game 5 of the 2015 World Series..ouch.


Unconfirmed Reports Lester left early to bag a buck

Harvey reacts to  his pitching line for the week.

Batters
  • Giancarlo "Don't call me Mike" Stanton leads this week's get on the Triple A Bus Players of the week. 1/21 with a single, 3 walks and a whopping 17 Ks...It's not like you can drop him either. UnderHochaevars hoping he breaks out of this slump soon
  • Brett Lawrie,  The Canadian Vampire went a sweet 2/20 with 1 single and 9 Ks. Maybe its time to ditch the "cool" mouthpiece Lawrie, Glad to see he at least toned down the eye black.
  • Yasmani Grandal. 2/2 1 Single and 10Ks. He has the Day-to-Day tag on him indicating they think he may need some rest to refocus.

Hot Stove Moves of the week



  • Hits for K's Drops Brad Miller in favor of Eduardo Nunez. Nunez goes 0-4...least it was zero and not negative.
  • WarningTrackPower picks up Tyler Wilson for a start on 5/19 goes 3.1 and then goes to the DL with a strained oblique.
  • Tyler White Heat Check 4 games -1 point 0/11 with 4 Ks. HvuSnMyBall would have been better off keeping Greg Holland at this point. Tyler is here to take your questions in the Edward Jones Chatting Cage.

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS Stump Grinder’s @ Warning Track Power The Grinder’s are led by an All Star cast of outfielders and should live up to their name with a bunch of gritty ball players. Warning Track Power is banking on MLB juicing the ball even more so it flies all the way out of the park. They will lean on their mashers. On the bump the Grinder’s roll out a strong collection of power arms. WTP is led by Thor acquired from the Grinder’s in the offseason and are hoping their strong bullpen will help once Greinke's arm finally falls off. Cousin Vinny says: Stump Grinder’s (-3) Prediction: Grinder’s 8 WTP 4 Expos @ UnderHochevars Will this be the year Trevor Story finally breaks out because if he does he will pair nicely with Bregman on that side of the infield. Hosmer and LeMahieu on the other side will balance out all of the K’s those two may rack up. UH trots out a collection of proven consistent bats hoping guys like Santana, Bruce, and ...

IRONCLAD 5

A few years ago I had an idea for a 5 game pickem called Iron Clad 5. I created the website but got bored with the idea. Now of course we have a year long LEAGUE OF LEGENDS where Iron Clad 5 makes perfect sense. So without futher ado I re-introduce the IronClad 5 a second time. Each week legends will pick 5 hand-selected NFL games. I am still trying to decide if this will be a straight pickem or if legends will pick against the spread. If I can find an easy source to parse that has the spread odds information then we will go that route. If not it will be a straight pickem.

Rundown 4/17/2017

The Baseball HOT STOVE IS ON FIRE, a new legend emerges, and much more on this weeks' RunDown. New Legend We had a new legend emerge on the scene this week, giving League of Legends a test spin, checking out what it's all about. Everyone extend a warm legend welcome to Josh Dorr, AKA Dorrknob. Coach Dorr seems legit already racking up some points in MLS. Only true legends score points in MLS. Welcome board Josh. This ups our Legend Josh Count to a solid 2. HOT STOVE MOVES OF THE WEEK Legends we haven't seen a HOT STOVE like this in the long storied history of League of Legends Baseball. If it were not for, how should I say it, a Stalinisticish like Transaction Limit of 10 the STOVE would go NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR. You can translate that how you wish cause the commish doesn't really have a good bead on foreign affairs but the Kim Dong Jong dude is blowing up missles and throwing parades. Ervin Santana SP, picked up by Lime in the Coconut, POW! 32.5 point outin...
